Philippines Coast Guard says ship damaged in collision with Chinese vessel

Footage published by the Philippines Coast Guard appears to show a collision between one of its ships and a Chinese Coast Guard vessel on Tuesday morning. The Philippines Coast Guard said it was carrying out a resupply mission in the South China Sea when it 'faced dangerous manoeuvres and blocking' from Chinese vessels that resulted in 'minor structural damage' to one of its vessels.

Frankly, you could see philipine sailors is attempting to use rubber blocks preventing collision damage . By contrast, china sailor only tried to record the collision, stood by and played victim soon . when reported, they say :" hey you can look at those scratches on the ship"

The nine dash line is totally ridiculous, it's Phillipine territory

[AETHERNAOFFICIAL]

China is so friendly, doing this things even they are not in their territory 😂😂😂

[OFFICIAL_GIL]

Someone needs to take action immediately stop the bullying

[edingoasen]

China should be ashamed of what they’re doing.

You've got to hand it to our own Philippine Coast Guard for showing some serious guts out there. They were determined to assert their presence in our own EEZ, standing firm against the Chinese Coast Guard. Their vessel didn't even flinch, sailing on despite the collision.

Meanwhile, the Chinese ships seemed to hit the brakes pretty quick, (0:25) almost like they weren't expecting such resistance. It's like watching a high-stakes game of Chinese chicken out there on the water. It's a clear sign that we the Filipinos isn't backing down from protecting what's rightfully ours, while the Chinese might have underestimated their resolve.

It always the Chinese vs vietnam, chinese vs indonesia, chinese vs philippines, chinese vs japan, chinese vs taiwan

The Chinese "historical" claims over the South China Sea are nothing less than ridiculous. And don't let anyone fool you that the name of the this sea should validate, support this Chinese imperialist, aggressive and plain warmongering initiative to occupy these waters.

I like how china can only do this kind of behaviour to weaker countries but when encountering US ships, they cry out on a radio protest

The one bare foot, one slipper sailor saves the day in tshirt, shorts and pink underpants: give that man a cookie! xD 0:40

Avoid buying made in China products as much as possible. Gradually shift to other sources. Otherwise, we’re just enabling the aggression.

That Chinese ship looks like it's from Harbor Freight. Same green color.
